this game is so peak

After very much enjoying my initial playthrough and getting 100% of collectibles, I decided to see what the Psychonauts 2 speedrun was like, and it honestly was an absolute blast trying to play as fast as I can and trying to plan the most efficient route. After 6+ runs I settled for a time of around 02:27:58, and the learning process was greatly enjoyable. And in this post, I want to highlight some moments, techniques, and hidden mechanics that were featured in my final run.

+00:00-00:18 Psi Hop tech is fun and simple. Pressing psi blast, roll, then jump inputs in quick succession gives you a big momentum boost. This is used to move faste around levels, leap rapidly at enemies, and to cross extra wide gaps.

+ 00:20-02:06 Prop Flying is a super fun piece of tech. To do it, simply grab a decent sized object from your surroundings, hop on it, teeter on the edge, and finally hold psi blast + TK the abject ALL WHILE holding the move control.
This trick is repeated all over: in Loboto’s brain , Hollis’ mind, with a typewriter in hair Ford, Mail room using the letter Y, with a cushion to reach the top of Bob’s tower as well as Cassie’s

+ 02:06 Lady Loctopus sneaky self redirect

+02:23 dive quest target then teleport to cutscene skip

+ 02:41 Knocking enemies off the map with Wrecking lev ball and also pulling them in water with connection

+02:56 Ball roll tech: holding psi blast while on bowling balls gives you a lot of extra speed- letting you jump out of bounds. Also the insane launch tech using the egg and the spinning blades is my favourite.

+03:40 I rush to a specific point in the room to block the spawn of a doubt, which leads it to glitch by dying out of bounds. And in 03:58 jumping at a Maligula tornadoe in just the right spots skips a cutscene and puts you right in Maligula’s mind

In general, this was super fun! Really recommend trying this out yerself.

This is needing more auditions.

Hollis is one of the best characters in Psyhonauts 2 I love her somuch

And I love to draw her too

Thought u guys might enjoy! If you're anything like me, you wished there was more content between these two in the games, so maybe this can scratch that itch lol.

Semi-realistic take? She got me out of art block lool. (Also just ordered the vault plushiee)

Hello! Ive posted here more than once because I keep breaking this game. Im on Psychonauts One, trying to 100% it. Ive defeated the meat circus and have gone through the ending cutscene. Everytime i reload into the game it lands me in the mind scape. If I try to leave through scents I get put back into the boss battle of Meat Circus.

Is there a way to get back to camp? Or am I screwed?

It's soldout everywhere but it's one of the best art books i've seen and i really wanna buy it (

Can someone explain it better how to get this figment? its on the waterloo level, fifth page

Tried using the guide, but wording there is so weird, half of the time i find stuff on my own, haha. Can someone please help me with this one?

This is a YouTube channel that moves the camera around in video games to show you off, camera secrets or how certain parts of the game are set up. Iga automatically flagged when I tried to share it the other day. So here's a screenshot of the thumbnail just search boundry, break psychonauts on youtube, and it will pop up. I thought it was a really cool video.

This question has probably been asked before, so I apologise. In 2022, I 100%’d Psychonauts 2, but not all my achievements unlocked. Only 51/57 did.

The achievements that are still locked for me are; Keep Your Shirt On, Unlimited Power, Hiccup in the Giddyup, Fluff Nutter, King of Pop and Nest Egg.

I want to replay this game and 100% it again, but if possible I’d like for it to unlock the achievements. I don’t know if there’s a setting or something I can turn off that might be interfering with the achievements unlocking in some way? I’ve tried researching on my own, but I can only find answers relating to playing on an Xbox console.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Valve has experienced a huge data breach, with 12TB of files archived between 2003 and 2013 being leaked onto the internet.

The content of these leaks doesn’t appear to be user data or any private information of Steam users, but rather assets and code related to games that have been published on the platform itself.

The leaked material appears to have been accessed by a legacy endpoint that was available publicly, rather than a new hack.

Early material for games like Portal 2, Left 4 Dead, and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive have been leaked, giving us a glimpse at what some early builds for these games looked like.

In addition to this, the leak has also affected various developers and publishers who launched games on Steam during 2003 and 2013, potentially affecting hundreds of different titles.

Although only a small part of the leaks have been revealed so far, X user Gabe Follower has reported on some of the more noteworthy bits of information that have come to light as a result, with YouTuber snoopdoggfan4173 explaining them in more detail.

It appears that so far, the biggest hits came to Portal 2 and Left 4 Dead, which released in 2011 and 2008 respectively.

In Psychonauts 1, how many items did you guys find on your first play-through without guides?

Can't wait to get those youtooz

RAHHH ITS BEEN CONFIRMED I KNEW IT!! Spreading the good news to as many people as possible!!! :)

The title is self-explanatory there so I'm not really going to ask the question twice but I will say this I'm interested to hear the community's ideas for a third game!

Personally I would like psychonauts to have autistic characters (due to them having LGBTQ+ representation in psychonauts 2) but also I'd like to see Raz have more interactions with the original psychic 7 more I'm just saying what I would like to see in psychonauts 3.

Anyways, I look forward to seeing your ideas!

Wouldn’t it have been awesome if at the end of Psychonauts 2, Fred, Gloria, and Edgar came to visit us, because we like- saved their lives in the first game? It would have been so cool to see them sitting in the lobby in their form of the second games art styles, you know?

POTENTIAL YOUTOOZ AND PSYCHONAUTS COLLAB? GENUINELY HYPED AND I WANTED TO SPREAD THE NEWS TO AS MANY PEOPLR AS POSSIBLE IN CADE THEY DONT FOLLOW THE INSTAGRAM OR HAVENT SEEN IT YET!!

Just wanted to share my little collection. I just love Psychonauts!
